Articles About Education

Every once in awhile, I find an article in the The New York Times about teaching that I want to keep. Whether it's about the advantages of one room schoolhouses, progressive education, or portfolio assessment... or the struggles of the current generation of boys... it's one I want to read again and again. So I'll keep that list here, in case anyone else finds it interesting.

Parents Don’t Understand How Far Behind Their Kids Are in School
May 11, 2023
I think a fifth year of high school is an excellent idea, and I don't understand why ALL schools in the country didn't automatically just have children repeat the grade they were in when COVID struck. Instead of moving everyone on and then discovering that they're all a year behind in math and reading.
